The . 'o R !GIN and PROGRESS of the FR ENCH REVOLUTION, from 1788 'to 18.1'6. IP:1111' 11.3 On the 19th of February the Monasteries were suppressed, t4ml on the 15th March the Red Book of Pensions teas published, whereby it appeared that the King's brothers received coot mous yearly sums, besides their lawful allowance, as also Cal lonne and the husband of MadamePolignac. On the loth June. Aaaaharsis Clouts, a Prussian, started up as Orator of the human race, and hereditary titles were aholi'hed. Neckar resigned and left the kingdom. The clergy were ejected, because they conlif not io conscience take the oaths pre- I -scribed, rend a hostile spirit brew bed in Germany. On the 20th February,l79l, the King's Aunts fled to Rome, and in March the famoua Mirabeau died. An emigrant at my assembler.' on the borders of Alsace, commanded by the Prince de Conde, and in June the King, Queen, and Family quitted Paris privately. Monsieur anti Madame arrived in Brussels, but unfortunately their Majesties were arrested at Vat - climes in their way, and con ducted back to Paris. A defensive' treaty was consequently entered into between the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, at Pilnitz, and in Paris a new constitution was concluded, which, on the 13th September, was accepted by the King. On the nth of that month the National Assembly dissolved itself, and on the 7th October a new one was opened, with a change of Ministers. The Feuillants, so called from a hall of that name in Paris, were opposed to the Jacobins, and on the 20th April, 1792, France strewed a warlike disposition towards Austria and the Netherlands, under Dumoirrier. An armed mob passed through the Assembly, surrounded the Thuilleries, and insulted the Royal Family. On the Ist of June the King of Prussia marched an army under the Duke of Brunswick, is ho issued 4 Manifesto, and on the Stir August Ls Fayette was tried and ac quitted. The Royal Family fled to tire -Hall of the Assembly, and the authority of the King was suspended, and himself imprisoned. On this event the Prussian army, depressed by sickness, tett eared by order of the Duke, who was taught to believe that it might he the means of saving the lives of the King and Queen. At this time the Princess Lamballe was wantonly murdered, and her head Click on a poll in Paris. France then declared wsr against Sardinia, and on the 21st September the National Assembly met, when the Republican parry prevailed in it. Collet D'Herbois, formerly an actor, moved for the eternal abolition of Roy ally, which was decreed. There were two Parties, the Gerondists and the Brisottines, who supported the Ministry and Roland. The other Party were the Mountaineers, so called front the high seats in the Hall, and on the 15th November a decree passed against the Emigrants, and stated that the Assembly would grant fraternity and assistance to all persons who wished for liberty. The battle of Jemappe was fought, and the Netherlands sur rendered. On the Ilth December the King was tried and coademned, and on the 21st January, ]793, he was beheaded, which event forced the British Cabinet to think their country in ,langer from false and ruinous opinions, and two unanswer able reasons justified their arming in defence of their pernicious tendency, i. e. the foregoing de cree fur encouraging rebellion in all countries, and opening the Scheldt. On the Ist February, the Assembly, on the motion of Brisot, decreed, that George, King of England, had not ceased, since the 10th August, 1792, giving the French Nation proofs of his attachment to the concert of Crowned Heads, and that he had drawn the Stadt holder into the same lake; that, contrary to the treaty of 1783, the English Ministry had pro tected the Emigrants and others, who have open ly appeared in arms against France. 'This decree, false as it was, and only the consequence of our faithful adherence to foreign powers, seems to have occasioned a flimsy, silly, flippant pamphlet by the Honourable Thomas Erskine, of which more hereafter. In March a Revolutionary Tribunal was formed, and the Mountaineers prevailed. In July, Marat was murder ed by Charlotte Corde, and France was decreed in a state of requisition. On the 16th October, the Queen and the Duke of Orleans were tried, and both condemned, and beheaded ou the 21st of this month. A new calendar was Made, and Gabet, with many of the Clergy, re nounced the Christian religion, the Only deities decreed being Liberty, Equality, and Reason. — In 1794, Robespierre, that savage feeder on human blood, was tried, condemned,, and exe cuted, and, in 1795, the French crossed the Py tennees, to the alarm of Spain, and drove the Austrians and Prussians from Landrecy over the Rhine, from Haanenith to the sea, and then in vaded Holland. 'Pichugru quelled an insurrection We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Thursday last, and this morning those of Friday. The Moniteur announces the appointment of the Sieur d'EsTottstm, to be Prefect of La Sari he, in the room of the Skill' PASlaUlliit, appointed Direc tor• General of the Sinking Fund, and 'he Count MURAT to be Prefect of Aveyron, in the room o f d'EsTortstEL. The Dnke of WELLINGTON dined with the King and the Royal Family at St. Cloud, on Tuesday last ; on Wednesday his Grsce had a conference with the Spanish An►bassador. It is stated from Naples, that the daughter of the Hereditary PRINCE of the Two SICILIES is about to be married to the Infant of Spain, Don FRANCIS PAUL. The following arc extracts from the Friday's Jon► nals : " PARIS, JULY 10.-The Duke of Wellington had yesterday a conference with the Ministers of Foreign Affaits and of Marine, and the Neapoli tan and Engli,h Ambassadors. " The Duchess of Marlborough arrived on Wednesday at Paris with the Marquis, her son, and two daughters. " According to the accounts from Stockholm, Sweden appears to be the only country which does not participate this year in the hopes of a fine harvest, which prevail throughout the rest of Europe.

'Wednesday Thursday l5 on the pretended want of bret..l, arnl Ole AStera it - bly, after sending several of its members to prison, proposrd a new Constitution. On the Eith May, all the Judges of the Revolutionary Tribunal were tried, condemned, and the next day executed.— Then the Jacobins rose, murdered some of the members, anti drove the rest from their hall, but were afterwards overcome. On the 23d June, their new Constitution was 'formed of two Coun cils, and an Executive Directory of five persons, one to go out every year, and they now courted the Jacobins. Ou the 21st October, the members of the new Constitution first met, but they were war popular. Previously, on the 10th Aptil, the Committees had nrgociated a Treaty of Peace with Prussia, through Barthelemy, at Basle, anti presented it to the Convention. The new Re public was acknowledged by Sweden, and Baron de , Stael was sent from thence to Paris as Ambassador. Switzerland did the same, and on the 22d July the French tteatM with Spain for part of San Domingo, and took its mediation in favour of Portugal and Italy. On the 9th June, the Dauphin had died in the Temple, where he had been since the murder of his father, mother, and aunts. His sister Elizabeth was exchanged for the members of the Convention, whom Dumou rier delivered up to Austria, with two AMbassa dors at Basle, Semonville and Matet. 'The Chouans started up, and committed their nightly hostilities, and the expedition to Qn:heron, under Counts D'llerville and Sombreuil, was de feated by the treachery of the menu, who went over to their countrymen, after landing on the 2711) of the month to the number of '2500.

CONSTAN TINOPLE, JUNE2.—TIte negociations with the Persian Ambassador have ben kept very secret, hot they are thot,ght to be important. The At»bassador is on his return to Teheran with his suite.". We Lave received more information respectl3g the Conspiracy at Paris, and we find that it is imputed chiefly to A FACT►(jtt iti rayon; of the Duke of ORLEANS, Who have long held together, and who are said to be the most incurable of all the Ultras. When the whole matter is developed, as it soon will be, our competitors will wonder at their scepticism. We havethis day given the SECOND PART of a Review of THE FRENCH REVOLUTION, by an old and intelligent Correspondent, and though the main facts have been too notorious, they ought to be periodically held forth to the world, in order to spew the danger of suffering any attempts to remould a Constitution like that of G Britain, which has stood the test of ages, while others have been shaken to the centre, and son►e dashed wholly into ruin. We received this morning New York Papers of the 4th ult. ; but they contain no news that has not already bee►► published. This day we consider as a melancholy epoch in the history of th is Country, for though Govern ment, as we stated on Saturday, have taken every possible precaution to secure the public peace, yet the return of such a mats as Sir FRANCIS BURDETT we cannot but consider as the triumph of Democracy, and, unless Ministers maintain vigilance and vigour in the whole system of their measures, the diabolical spirit of Jacobinism will rear its head, and the utmost efforts will be made by those who call tilefll3eiVeS Re formers to subvert the Throne and destroy the Constitution. Ministers have been much ton easy in their concessions, and do not appear to have been sufficiently resolute in resisting the pro positions, refuting the sophistry, and repelling the violence of Opposition within doors. The New Times of this day says, " we are not of the num ber of those who apprehend much danger from the mob that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT proposes to collect to-day. Many reasons concur to persuade us, that though a very silly, it will not be a very dangerous spectacle." We heartily agree with the loyal and judicious Conductor of that Paper, as to the silliness of the spec tacle, because it will be in a great measure supported by very silly people, but these silly people have a very great proportion, and no doubt a very large majority, of very wicked people, for none but weak and bad men would join in ,such a procession, or appear to give the slightest sanction to the principles on which it is founded. But we conceive that such a spectacle affords a new stimulus to Reformers, Levellers, and Delleumers, and that it will induce them to adopt all occasions for obtaining an infamous notoriety of the same kind. It is not therefore the triumph of the MOE-MEMBER for Westminster, but the unblushing proclama tion of his PRINCIPLES which this Procession will occasion. We knew that Gove'rnment have taken effectual care to guard the Metropolis from the excesses of his Mob •Electors ; but it has a more weighty, indeed an essential, duty, and that is, to be for ever on the watch to counteract the doctrines which these Mob-Electors admire, and which their Mob-Representative has promised to support. We entirely approve of the order which has been sent to the High Bailiff' not to give the appearance of a legal sanction to a Proces sion that is, if not a violation of Law, an inva sion of the public peace. It would have been strange indeed if any of the Constituted Autho rities bad been suffered to attend on such an oc casion. Ministers have, therefore, supported the dignity of Government, while they have taken measures for the protection of the Capital ; and we trust that, if any disturbances should take place, that they will he as firm in the infliction of punishment, as they have been prudent its their measures for securing public tranquillity. It is with regret we state, that crowds were as sembling this day through the whole line in which The March of Democracy is to take place...—. CLEARY, one of the Orators on the Hustings, is, it seems, to head the Procession, in the room of the High Bailiff. It is confidently asserted that Mr. PEEL is to be succeeded in the Secretaryship of lrtland by Mr. C. GRANT. The loss of the former could not be more properly supplied. The Company's ships Princess Amelia and Lon don parted company the 12th of April. The for mer was off the Cape on the 30th of that month. At a quarter past three yesterday the PRINCE REGEN T left town for the Stud-house. Prince EsTERII AZT, Count MUNSTER, and the LORD CHANCELLOR had audiences of his Royal llighnes3 yesterday. Ise PRINCE TIF,GRNT is expected at Brighton shortly. The Aerations gotog On at the Pavilion ate so extensive, they will nut be co:twitted these two years. FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR,--The Speech lately made b y „ CANNING, at an Election Di n n e r a t Liverpool , Is admirably calculated to dispel the delusion wlucli unhappily prevhils among the lower classes °f society upon the leading points of political di" cussion, and especially with regard to ? aril :: mentary Reform, that I trust it will spee dil y published for general circulation throughout the kingdom. But in bringing out such a publica tion I hope it will be temernbeved, that it is wan"' chiefly for the lower orders, and that it will be printed in a form and at a price which will render it accessible to them. This, h ow ever, will not be enough. Care and pains must be taken to cir culate it most diffusively. And here I beg leave to offer a suggestion to the consideration of tho se whom it may concern—that the Press is an engine so powerful in its operation and effects, as not t° be unworthy of the attention of Governm eot• MONITOR. "r, . *,* We heartily concur with our Correspondent in the hope that the adinirablc, Speech in question, which in. political truth and wisdom has never been surpassed, wa y be re l " tiered generally accessible to the people ill polnC of price, and may be amply circulated thr ou iM ul the kingdom. ratot, NEW PARLIAMENT.
